Reasons Why Xbox Scorpio is Better Than PlayStation 4 Neo

Well, the battle between Sony’s PlayStation and Microsoft’s Xbox is endless. Keyboard warriors on the Internet debate and even fight for the console they prefer. The new upcoming consoles from Sony and Microsoft are again competing against each other. Microsoft claims that the Xbox Scorpio will be the fastest console ever made, but is it really true? So lets cut straight to the chase! Here are the reasons why GeeksULTD thinks Xbox Scorpio is Better than the PlayStation 4 Neo.

[Bzone24]

I'm most likely going to get a Scorpio but we don't know enough about either one to know which is better yet.

[Cindy-rella]

Id love the writer to tell me tomorrows lottery numbers.

With such logic he might as well say a pc with 2 1080s is better than project scorpio not knowing anything else about the pc or scorpio.

[SpringHeeledJack]

The writer shouldn't be comparing them. PS4k or neo is just a mid gen upgrade. Scorpio is a brand new next gen console started very early, is going to be a very expensive high end console to compete with high end PC gaming.

[S2Killinit]

How old is the writer? Anyway i would rather get the brand that delivers games.

[Errorist76]

I know which one will be better..the console with all the great games.

[Condemnedman]

xbox then for me

[Errorist76]

@condemnedman <- right spelling

That's what I was hinting at. Every person will have a favourite, which one it is depends on other personal factors.

[sammarshall102]

Gears of War 4, Dead Rising 4, Ori 2, Scalebound, Crackdown 3, State of Decay 2, Forza Horizon 3, and Recore for me

[Condemnedman]

Errorist I know how to spell it
can't be bothered to explain why tho.

[uth11]

Ten reasons why a console that doesn't exist is better than a console that hasn't been announced. This is what games journalism has come to.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

lol basically

[Kingthrash360]

Lol. All we know is 6tf....and this make it better? The amount of games don't matter? Price don't matter? Exclusives don't matter? Just power? We don't even know the specs for either console.....too soon and too click baited to be taken seriously.
Lastly the scorpio is a next gen ms steambox....the neo is a current gen console...

[Afrokk]

See the end, I've said that both have their own Pros and Cons. I'm a PC gamer, so I'm completely neutral here. As far as the exclusives are concerned, both have their fair share. Forza Horizon 3, Gears of War 4, etc. and Gran Turismo, God of War etc.
Price? Ofcourse, PS Neo will probably be cheaper, but Xbox is more powerful. It all depends on the Price/Performance ratio.

[OB1Biker]

'Scorpio is coming sooner, xbox play anywhere, MS is trying hard to win...'. Haha seems to me your trying hard. Nice one too about the 'keyboard warriors' as if your trying to flame things up.
To be honest we don't know much about those consoles yet and one thing is certain, a console existing only on paper is not that good until it's out there.

[ziggurcat]

"... PS Neo will probably be cheaper, but Xbox is more powerful..."

you won't know that until Sony confirms the specs.

[Afrokk]

"Lastly the scorpio is a next gen ms steambox....the neo is a current gen console..."
But Sony's top dog and competitor of the Scorpio is the Neo. So the comparison is fair. You aren't saying that Xbox Scorpio is in its own league right?

[Kingthrash360]

i would hope so, its a next gen pc/console thing.
xbox s is the competition for ps neo. scorpio is the lone too early jump to next gen. its more accurate to say the nx is the scoripos competitor.
the neo, as stated time and time again by sony isnt a new generation console... just like the xbox s.

sure you want to say xbox scorpio is more pwerful than the ps4neo....but thats expected from a new gen console. will is be more powerful than sonys next gen? doubt it. but who cares anyway? its not the power, its the games that matter.

but lets say we put the neo up against the scorpio....the neo being a ps4, has already sold 40+mil, has over 1,000 games, costs wayyyyy less, is going to have a cheaper vr with better vr games at launch, has exclusive games, better devs, more devs, more games announced for the future, made by a company fully dedicated to games and gamers.

the scorpio has 2 more tflops.....awsome.

[Edito]

Actually it is... Neo and Scorpio are not on the same league it's like comparing Xbox One S to NEO.

[magiciandude]

The Scorpio and Neo are both next gen systems.

[Kingthrash360]

Explain.
Sony themselves stated it's not....ms dodged this question like it was a question about cloud computing.
What, you know more than sony about their own product?

[leoms]

Nah, Neo is not next gen. I can say nothing about Scorpio as MS haven't confirm yet

[ILostMyMind]

@Kingthrash360
He is a magician from MS. He knows everything.

[Filmicfps]

"Lastly the scorpio is a next gen ms steambox....the neo is a current gen console..."

Where do you keep pulling this nonsense from?

[Saigon]

I don't think he is stating nonsense, because MS hasn't answered the question and honestly when I saw the announcement for Project Scorpio, i said to myself, this is the next Gen console from MS. It was presented as such, at least to me, during E3 because the specs were out there. Many are calling this system next gen, at least until MS confirms that it is not. Project Scorpio can fully support the XBO but it doesn't mean it can't have its own games.

[extermin8or]

Still calling it current gen unless it has games that can't run on ps4 and have bigger differences than just graphics settings. If I buy a ps4 neo game and it's the same disc and price as a standard ps4 game, and I could put it in my normal ps4 and have it run. Then yep it's same generation. Plus diminishing returns means the power jump isn't as big as you think. By the time it releases all Scorpio is likely to be is a low-grade high end pc effectively. I'll bet you could build a better pc for a fair bit less than what it sounds like they will be charging. Don't hear about steam boxes anymore? Why? For the same reason Scorpio is bound to not do all that well.

[joeorc]

You do not think its Microsoft's version of a steam is?
You cannot be that clueless now, come on..i mean take a look at Microsoft's direction with Xbox as a platform.
Its moved from being a games console to now a games platform on windows 10!

It was never about growing a game console for the game console market, it was about turning the game console. Market into a direct clone of the PC market.

Example:
Microsoft. Makes now Windows UWP , directX and made sure now Windows 10 powers the Xbox moving forward.

Tell me exactly what is so different about an Xbox and a windows 10 powers PC for game purposes. Now?

All this was set to do , is try to get developers to code for windows OS 1st over coding a game for playstation or a Nintendo system..this was the very Sam tactic they have used extensively in the Pc market to keep developers to code realm only for the Windows OS and for making DirectX the default graphics Api.

Use the PC hardware manufacturers. To make sure that the basic Bios support a Windows OS over Linux or other Operation. Systems.
Went to make sure a GPU vendor making drivers made once again DirectX the default graphics driver over others.

And now you do not think Microsoft. Is not trying to do the very same thing that they have done in the PC market , to now try to do the same thing in the game console market?

Sony even stated the PS4 Neo was made to try to keep gamers on Playstation from switching to mainly gaming on PC..Microsoft is now telling the consumer, Xbox 🎮 & PC 💻 are one unified platform sharing all their games.
And you do not think its a steam is type box?
Xbox one keyboard & mouse support
Xbox getting UWP support
Xbox & PC now share windows store which will have PC & Xbox games distributed. On the online store front.
Xbox will share PC peripherals
Xbox will have play anywhere
The Xbox is now just a platform 👉 under windows 10👈
Just like the media center PC was..its no different..same tactic Microsoft. Has been using for years.

[fatsodubmo]

@gearsofwarxbox

You dont see the difference between 2x power improvement and 5x power improvement?

If, and that's IF THE 5.5tflop rumor is true, scorpio is still almost doubling the performance improvement over the Neo's 2.75x improvement.

And here's the thing...

6tflops will not bring us native 4k gaming at a stable fps with anything more than a mediocre graphical setting. So what does that extra hp give to scorpio owners? The logical answer would be other assets like improved ai, aa, framerate oncreases at 1080p etc... But how can such a game exist on both systems? How can Battlefield be played online scorpio vs bone? Is that extra power waisted to keep parity with the bone? Or, drumroll please......scorpio is actually a generational leap and gets its own games.

[Condemnedman]

kingthrash you wouldn't agree on anything if it benefited the xbox even if it was fact.

[AAWELLS09]

It was all about the power with the PS4. Is it different now?

[ILostMyMind]

Let me guess, you bought a PS4 because of its power, right? If not, you do not know why people bought it.

[Silly gameAr]

Wasn't about the power to me. Looks like you're taking MS's point of view on the situation. It we up the , power, then maybe we'll actually sell consoles, because all that matters is the power.

[JackStraw]

you don't even know anything about the neo. neither does the author of this lame article. microsoft hasn't labeled the scorpio as a next-gen console, and neither sony has labeled the neo as a current-gen console. you pseudogamers need to shut up and stop it. the fanboyism is showing and it's pitiful.

[leoms]

Sigh, Sony labelled the Neo as current gen. Please get your facts right before calling fanboyism

[JackStraw]

@leoms no they haven't, dumb nigger. stick to being a pseudogamer.

[thoract]

I agree with you. When the PS4 was shown to be more powerful than the XBone, these fanboys denied it. Than they said the xbox is better because it had more games and power does not matter. Xbox fanboys also said the power of the cloud will make the console more powerful than the PS4. So what happened to this cloud power? Now that Scorpio is more powerful than the Neo, power matters again.

[Rimeskeem]

Here let me write an article about how something that no one has seen and is only confirmed to be 6 teraflops which half the people dont understand is better than this thing that has only been confirmed to exists and there is literally nothing else about it.

Jesus this is such a pointless click-bait article. Why are people allowed to "fix" lame and "other" reports now?

[Relientk77]

Pretty much

[2cents]

Really?

This reads like it was written by a 10 year old. Is this article really needed here? It's just a lame attempt at stoking the fire.

Don't bite.

[iNathan]

Doing useless articles about things we haven't seen yet, yes you went full retard.

[zsquaresoff]

"Keyboard warriors on the Internet debate and even fight for the console they prefer."

Aren't you doing the same exact thing tho? Comparing one console (Xbox) to the other (ps4) who's specs haven't even been announced yet.

Classic case of pot calling kettle black.

[Afrokk]

Opinion article is based on everything we know uptil now.

[Roronoa0411]

Well if your going to have an opinion based on rumour alone… you should know there is also the second rumour going around that there is two models of neo. One with 5.5 teraflops and a new cpu and the cheaper version at 4.2 teraflops and overclocked jaguar. According to the source they're not sure which one they will go with as of yet.

[trooper_]

We know nothing concrete about either console yet.

This article is pointless.

[extermin8or]

Wait where did that rumour cone from??

[Christopher]

Some opinions shouldn't be made until enough information is made available.

[Silly gameAr]

So, it's based on nothing?

[ziggurcat]

we know absolutely nothing about Neo right now, so you simply cannot make any kind of comparison - what information are you basing any of this "opinion" on, exactly?

[Jayszen]

Another article that lacks credibility.

Neither of the consoles has been released as yet and while we have been told what the specs for the Scorpio are going to be, we do not know what the specs for the NEO as there hasn't even been a formal announcement about the updated console.

Even if (and this is a big 'if') the Scorpio turns out to be more powerful than the Neo, there are other important factors that will determine the success of either console. Factors such as the price of the console, what exclusives will be released, availability, etc. These are all important determinants of success.

In a nutshell, this article is more about wishful thinking than a serious comparison which simply cannot be possible at present.

[Artemidorus]

Reasons why you have no clue about either consoles should be the title.

Disagree all you want it's 100% fact

[Errorist76]

Why can't we flag articles anymore?!

[gazgriff2k12]

reasons why dreaming is better speculating

[trooper_]

Why a console that's not even out is better than another one that's not even out either.

Really?

[Reaper9937]

Is this a satire article?

[Afrokk]

The article is based on rumors guys. Atleast read it and read the end of the article. Don't start complaining without even reading the whole article.

[qwerty676]

I think the writer makes some very poor points here.

Enough for me to think this was mostly "Hey I'll write an article to fuel the fire in the fanboy war" because of actual substance of the article is rather weak.

[King_Lothric]

Reasons why an unrevealed product is better than the other unrevealed product.

How low can these people go just for clicks.

[JackStraw]

pseudogamers are at it again.

[Circuitburnout]

Are you clairvoyant?

[DarXyde]

Inconclusive at the moment. Based on what we do know, it's likely to be more powerful and have a greater ecosystem. These appear to be givens.

However, some things to consider...

PlayStation 4 we can argue has more of an identity. The ecosystem can be a bit of a crux for Microsoft. How many people will be taking advantage of Play Anywhere? The prospect of both owning a hardcore PC and Xbox seems like a stretch. Most useful if given to a friend, in my opinion.

In terms of power, I do believe Microsoft will have the advantage. But that didn't stop the PSOne, PS2, DS, and Wii from doing great. It's all about the games. Always has been. For some, that advantage belongs to Xbox. To some, Sony. And, yes, for others, that is Nintendo.

But I will say that if Neo has been postponed and they can't spec match Scorpio, Sony needs to release it before the competition but in a similar window so chipset prices can be scaled accordingly.

I think the determinants will be software, price, and to a lesser degree power. And hey, Scorpio being a success will only push Sony to do more. It's great for everyone.

On the issue of "better", Scorpio does introduce some new functionality in the form of VR support while Neo is reportedly only a power boost. But is it necessarily better if the stock PS4 supports VR while you have to upgrade to Scorpio to get the option? It's a wash right now, but it's good to see people who were criticizing PSVR and VR in general as a gimmick finally embracing the medium because Xbox will have it soon. ;0)

[DopeTech]

Well, Xbox Scorpio will be much more powerful than PS Neo, so Scorpio IMMEDIATELY better.

[Kallisti]

This article is more premature than the authors ejaculations

[YAO-BLING]

how can it be better when the "official" specs has not been released for neo? silly bots.

[Dirtnapstor]

MS introduced the Scorpio just to counter the incoming Neo. They know they're going to get caught with their pants down again, so they had to do something. Thus the talk of the Scorpio begins.
There hasn't been any confirmation for either platforms, so articles like this are pure speculation...even when photos are involved Mr Author.

[sergons]

Who approve this crap?

[joeorc]

@Vasto0m ago
[Everybody knew this was going to happen after the Xbox One.

I hope Sony enjoyed their couple years. lmao]

I'm sure Microsoft. Really ❤ the past couple of years also, I mean the Xbox one was selling as fast as the xbox360, even though as the Xbox one S releases, they will have discontinued the original. Xbox one..because its selling faster than the xbox360 was in its cycle..😂

And the xbox360 was such a massive success, and stole all of Playstation. Minds share and Market share that would be no way for Sony to ever recover.

💑 PC & Xbox players unite to destroy Sony so as to make playstation fanboys cry..when Sony has to put their exclusives on PC as consoles are now replaced by Xbox & PC..👍

Its good to have healthy 👉 dreams.👈

[Cweed]

My hypothetical console is better than yours!

[REDDURT]

The number one reason it is not .....games

[Cohagen420]

So I'm supposed to get a Scorpio to play 3rd party games? Yea I'm sticking with the NEO.

[ktorce]

Yeah! but NEO 8 is much much better compared with the scorpion 9 for sure...

[tontontam0]

Microsoft named it project scorpio, they didn't even tried to name it " xbox one plus" or any name with xbox one name on it, basically they're admitting that scorpio is next gen which is backward compatible with xbox one.
